Paul Webber Racing

It doesn't seem like a peaceful Sunday morning around here, in fact as is so often through the year-round racing season, Sunday is just like Monday. No time for family lunchtime BBQs today, as it is the slightly mundane but important-enough fare on offer at Southwell and Stratford.
When Sunday Racing was first established, it was born with the guarantees of generous prize-money and worthwhile Sunday appearance money. Both of these have since all but disappeared and yet Owners still have to face the extra labour expences of sending horses to the races on Sundays.
I am qualified to bleat about this, as i'm the proud owner of SPACE STAR who looks to have a great chance at Southwell. A bigger obstacle than any of the Southwell fences in 'PLUTO's' path, is the fact that my colours have never been carried to victory! Well that is not strictly true as the late-lamented RADAR LOVE did manage to scramble home, adorned with my colours, only for Andrew Thornton to weigh in too heavy and be disqualified! We have found the right race for 'PLUTO' and he must have as good a chance as he'll ever have, but i fear i said the same thing about LAISH YA HAJAR last thursday, only for him to withdrawn before the start!
KRISTALLO has a trickier task at Stratford and his last race was a complete mystery. He pulled far too hard at Bangor, which considering that he is the laziest horse we have at home, was a nasty surprise. Since then he ambled quietly around Newbury, ridden by Humphrey Butler and ended up only being beaten a length in a Charity Race. If runs a sensible type of race he should finish in the first four.
So instead of a sizzling Sunday lunch and a bottle or two of Johnny Goedhuis' excellent Chateau Baillion Rose in the garden, it's time for me to feed the horses their 'sunday roast' and head up the road to Stratford!
I can hear the ice chinking in your glasses!!
